Man fined for selling fighting fish from his Ang Mo Kio flat, keeping bearded dragons
 When National Parks Board (NParks) officers received a tip-off that someone was selling fighting fish via Telegram and knocked on Muhammad Irfan Khairudin's door, they found two bearded dragons being kept illegally in his Ang Mo Kio flat.

Irfan, 28, was fined S$3,000 in court on Wednesday (Mar 17) for one count of using his home as a pet shop to sell 10 fighting fish, also known as betta, and two counts of intentionally keeping wildlife without approval.
 

The court heard that Irfan started an account on Telegram called "Ayam Betta" at the start of 2019. He posted his fighting fish for sale and sold his first fish for S$20 soon after.

Since then, he sold 10 fish from his home via Telegram even though he did not have a pet shop licence.

In April 2020, NParks received feedback that someone was selling fighting fish via Telegram. They visited Irfan's home in Ang Mo Kio in July 2020 and found two live Central Bearded Dragons kept in separate tanks in the flat.

Irfan did not have the required approval to keep them.
